Answer:

Time in hours

\frac{543}{60} \\9.05

Explanation:

Given

Decimal reduction time for endospores of Bacillus cereus in milk  = 36.2 minutes

Temperature at which bacillus endospores are reduced = 95°C

Population of endospores to be reduced = 1015

Targeted population of endospores = 1

So the total time taken to reduce population of 1015 endospores to 1 endospore is equal to

36.2 * 15\\= 543 minutes

Time in hours

\frac{543}{60} \\9.05

In the pedigree that is shown, which represents Irene's allele combination?
Greeley [361]

The red-green color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. The females are not affected unless both the X chromosomes have the affected allele. Mostly, the females are the carriers, and the males are affected as they have only one X chromosome. In the given pedigree, the father of Irene have the normal allele, while her mother is a carrier. However, Irene is neither a carrier nor affected. This means that she carries normal alleles on both X chromosomes. Hence, her allele combination is X^{H} X^{H} .

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The thrifty gene hypothesis postulates that due to dietary scarcity during human evolution, people are prone to obesity by storing energy as fat, an ability to take advantage of rare periods of abundance  and this is advantageous during times of food availability. individuals with greater adipose reserves would more likely survive famine. This tendency to store fat could lead to obesity.

FTO is an enzyme that is encoded in humans by FTO gene located on chromosome 16. Increase in this enzyme is associated with the regulation of energy intake but not feeding reward. Also, the set point theory indicates that bodies are meant to stay within a narrow weight range but it is susceptible to chnage overtime.
